Earlier Delhi Capitals won the toss and opted to bowl first. Speaking at the toss, Meg Lanning said, “We will bowl first. That has worked well so far, we’ll have to make early inroads against a challenging opposition.”
“We’ve got good depth in our squad, the last match wasn’t our best, we’ll come hard today. We’re looking to improve, we can do a lot of things better and we’re excited. Nikki Prasad comes in place of Radha Yadav”
Meanwhile Deepit Sharma said, “We would have bowled first as well. Need to get a good total which we can defend. The more matches you play, the experience and learning is always there.”
“It’s very good for women’s cricket (on this match being the 50th WPL game) – two changes for us, Alana King and Saima Thakor miss out, Chinelle Henry and Rajeshwari Gayakwad are in”
